Well, there's a fine heritage and history there- we've been trying to injure ourselves for the better part of the last 30 years. Any reference that Elena makes to jumping out of trees, jumping off of houses with grocery bag parachutes, learning to do flips on bicycles, memory loss, lighting each other on fire, playing with hairspray and matches, sticking staples in the wall and blowing the breaker, insane burnouts, or the time we made a 45 minute drive in just under 20 minutes, those are all based on real-life events.
The strangest part of it is that we rarely, of ever managed to hurt ourselves. I have by far the most scars out of any of my brothers, and of those four major scars, one was from an operation to remove a congenital birth defect in one of my kidneys.
The other three were from accidents, and get this- I was the cautious one? And the only one to get scars from it, aside from a tiny scar on my brother Dave's chin.
